although the photo looks a little touched up it is true serena wears huge hoop earrings to matches and her arm can really get that big when flexing, honestly her arms are muscled when she isnt flexing to just before the level of muscle when skin stretches and veins come out like with weight lifters

[also maria is up there with the best to play the sport and shes twice what williams is]

Wikipedia and her own website list Serena at 5'10" and 143lbs. Based on the women I know, that sounds like she should be a lot slimmer than she is. Unless her body fat percentage is near zero, I can't think of how she'd weigh that little. Except she's American, and American girls have a tendency to drop 10-50lbs off their actual disclosed weight. Heck, I'm 5'3" and while I wasn't toned when I weighed 145 I still looked smaller than her.

FlippityFlap:I sure as hell wouldn't throw either one of them out of bed.

I'm not sure I could.

"Excuse me, Ms Williams, would you mind sitting right here on this nice chair conveniently placed on the arm of a big catapult? Yes it is comfortable. You can adjust your seat by pulling on this lever. Yes, that's right. Just like that..."

I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the people saying they think Serena is hot and that "everyone would hit it" wouldn't go after it themselves if she wasn't a famous athelete with tons of money. We tend to think that celebrities are more attractive than they really are.

Fact is, Serena wouldn't turn any heads on the street if no one knew who she was. Sharpova, OTOH, is a real hottie.

The unfortunate thing about using misquotes as Fark headlines is that people tend to believe they are real. Several in this message thread apparently believed it was a real quote, and I went into the article looking only for the quote in question, finally realizing it was a "joke." But honestly, the joke of misquoting somebody isn't funny. It's just dumb. Why not just call her a dude in the headline instead of deceptively putting words in somebody else's mouth?

Anyway, did I mention it's tennis, and NOBODY CARES about tennis? Drier than golf, and without the pretty landscape. . . Bleh. It's so basic and boring that tennis was the basis of the first primitive home video game, and THAT was more exciting than a real game of tennis!

Bill Frist:Fact is, Serena wouldn't turn any heads on the street if no one knew who she was. Sharpova, OTOH, is a real hottie.

You, Sir, are farking stupid. Only reason Sharapova makes guys like you giggle like little girls is that you haven't left your parent's basement yet.

Girls like Sharapova are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Nothing remarkable. In fact, right now in my school library there are 10 girls who are way better than Sharapova. You see her in real life and you'd be like "hmm cute face, but nothing spectacular."

The "celebrity" status you placed on Serena applies equally well, if not more so, for Sharapova.

Uh... what sports are you big into kid? Nascar and skateboarding? Because virtually every big sport is a GAME. Football is a "game!" so soccer, baseball, hockey, golf, etc.

So, anyway, what games/sports formerly dominated by white people are left for African Americans/black people to conquer?

Hmm... the vast majority of sports I'd guess.Soccer (totally dominated by western europeans with south americans in second), Baseball (dominated by whites and hispanics), tennis (all the top male tennis players are white), golf (other than the half-black tiger, virtually all the big names are white), hockey, cycling, F1/Nascar/racing in general, etc.

The only sports than African americans dominate are basketball (although that's changing as the sport goes global, all the top foreign players are european) and american football.

Mi-5Kid, if you are gonna try to sling ad hominems at least put a little work into it. If you can't come up with a diss less cliche than "you live in your parents basement" it is best not to say anything at all.

As for the celebraty status, yes of course it applies to Sharapova. And no, I don't think she is amazingly beautiful or totally unique. She is, however, a hottie and while I see lots of hot girls on the streets of new york every day and sharapova wouldn't be any kind of anomaly, she would be someone who I'd look at. I wouldn't even notice Serena.

On 1-10 scale I'd say Sharapova is maybe like an 8 while Serena is a 4-5.

Sharapova looks line any femail walking down the street with a decent rack..she is not very cute. Serena has butt, breaststststs, a cute face, no penis. SHe has muscular arms and broad shoulders, big whoop.

As I said, it is personal preference, but I am all for Serena.

But what can I expect from a group that thinks Paris Hilton is a top 10 beauty, Pam Anderson is hot and the ideal of beauty is bult like a lolipod. You Farkers are bonkers. Much of the preference of SHaripova may be racial (NOT RACIST), but many of these comments are racist and white guys like flatt butts, while black guys like big round butts. As I always say, J-Lo is the Rosa PArks for woman with nice butts. The ideal would still be all that "Pancake butt" had it not been for her. Sir Mix a Lot is like the Francis Scott Key. Enjoy your anorexic models guys.

Mi-5:Girls like Sharapova are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Nothing remarkable. In fact, right now in my school library there are 10 girls who are way better than Sharapova. You see her in real life and you'd be like "hmm cute face, but nothing spectacular."

At the very least Sharapova would be striking in most environments. She's 6'1, pretty and toned after all. Unless your school library is at the Uber-Model Academy.

Mi-5 I like you because you hit truth in your last post, and also you didn't say Serena is attractive as an addition (which most people do after saying Sharapova isn't all that).

In this situation though, I think she's the pretty fish in the average to ugly pond (tennis that is). All female sports has the good looker which in many cases ends up being a rather average girl compared to those we see everyday.

But what can I expect from a group that thinks Paris Hilton is a top 10 beauty, Pam Anderson is hot and the ideal of beauty is bult like a lolipod.

FWIW, I don't think either is very hot. And Pam Anderson DEFINITLY isn't. If anthing, the Pam Anderson lovers would be the Serena fans. People who think big curves are the ideal of beauty but don't care about face. Personally face is the most important thing for me. Just my preference. As such, Serena doesn't rank high at all while Sharpova has a very nice face.

many of these comments are racist and white guys like flatt butts, while black guys like big round butts.

Was that supposed to be ironic? Because declaring what the physical preferences of different races are is the closet thing to a "racist" comment i've seen in this thread.

Personally I'm not a fan of big butts, but I hate when people pretend that anyone who dislikes a gigantic ass likes "flat butts."

No, I like nicely shaped but smaller butts. Just like I like nicely shaped, perky smaller breasts. I don't care if you like giant breasts, but just cause I don't want D-Cups doens't mean I like flat chests and not liking bubble butts doesn't mean I want a flat butt.
